You should use a safety rack or have some form of properly rated fall protection when accessing the lids or you could consider getting auto air lids installed for your drivers. then the only time they would need to access the top is for basic lid maintenance.
Agreed. We used to rely on customers for a catwalk or safety harness, but for the last coule years, we have purchased collapsible fall protection guard rails installed on all trailers.
That's awesome I was wondering because I know Mac sells those as add-ons for their trailers.Good to see companies spend a bit to provide safe working environments.
I lucked out ..I got my cdl.and went straight to a company where I was one day out and one day home ...for 1 year...now I'm hone daily making serious money in a bottom dump locally .I was one of the lucky ones .I'm grateful for my company.
How many inch Hg do you guys aim to vac at? I've been doing food grade dry bulk for the last 8 years but we just started to get vac transloads. On a fresh railcar i can pull about 10 hg but it seems to plug and stuck rather than flow. Maybe i have the railcar door open too wide? And man..cleaning out sugar is a pain even with the vibrators. I keep loosing suction because not enough product is falling. And lastly, any tips on the railcar fitting? I'd like think to get it air tight as possible but another guy said letting more air in is better? Any tips will help. Ive done about 10 and seem to find out things here and there but there's really no one who can help.
@2:49 what was the point of capping the cap... I just don't get that lol, I like the extra walkway section on top, my company makes us use a harness or one of those dropdown gangways. and while I'm usually all for safety stuff I also need to maintain my HOS, a harness takes awhile. That cap on the blower is ridiculous, I love it. Have to admit though I don't think we have any trailer with more than the single product line running underneath.
A comment and a ❓or 2 🤔 It’s nice that you have hand-rails going up as you are climbing and the “platform” on the top of the tank is also a great “Safety” feature. The ❓❓: why did the driver look into the # 2 hatch into the tank and do the drivers keep the same tank ❓❓ TY
@@CustomTransportDrivers TY Regina for the interview and consideration 🌞 I’m disappointed that it could not work out “understandable” You are a valuable asset to CCT 👍🏻 job well-done 🇺🇸 🥂 Cheers
It's not that much faster if you know what you're doing. Six inch is way heavier and more product coming through line. But you can load more precise with the 4 and 5 inch. Hitting your weight without going over is very important cause you have to blow back if over.
Bulk resin can actually be very lucrative. Most problems are those that you create. And, if you can avoid them, you got it gold. Imagine not ever having to go into a rail. Man... to heck with the BN, UP, NS, or CSX. Those two duopolys know they have everyone else by the you know what. So, why should they improve their operations?
@customcommoditiestransport9508 or maybe you can pay your guys better...I've seen your average rates and it's not competitive. How can you claim to be the largest bulk carrier in North America and not take care of your guys.....,????? I feel bad for the guys that say, "I've worked here for 8 years, 10 years". Just because your loyal doesn't mean your business savy...stopped getting screwed by these guys and work for a better company that either pays more or pays the same for less hazardous or less strenuous work.
I have 2 years experience driving reefer I want to switch to tanker, will you guys train....I'm also in the process of getting my hazmat if that's needed
I was a plant driver for about 7 years in Texas Eastman. While rail cars were adjacent, we pulled straight from reactor purge buns.
That music went perfect with this.
Very informative video right now I’m in the process of building a Lego version of this trailer
We'd love to see it when you finish!

@@DroneWildFPV Yes sir. We're working primarily with Stevens on these equipment improvements. Safety is first and forement. Thanks for noticing.
I wanna work here but , just don't wanna be out two weeks at a time. Been there done that.
Right? lol when I was OTR it was sometimes 3-4 months at a time and it wasn't good for a marriage and a newborn.

Any tips on how to blow out the dust collector?
No sorry. It's different for different applications.

Yes Drivers generally keep the same tank. Darren was looking in the hatch just to inspect. We're always inspecting.

You are a valuable asset to CCT 👍🏻 job well-done 🇺🇸 🥂 Cheers
@@peternyznyk1072 I agree and I'll let her know!
Yea I’m afraid to be up there but I bet if I had the platform it wouldn’t freak me out as much.
@@Mano_on_Point Hardest part is climbing down, transitioning to the ladder is sketchy as hell on most of these.
Never loaded of rail cars before I assume it's like sucking the load back when you plug up??
Yes. There’s some pressures and gauges to understand but it’s basic mechanical vacuuming.
Cool👍🏿
Thanks! We show this video to be sure that new applicants see how physical the pneumatic job can be. Darrin does it with grace and excellence!
@@CustomTransportDrivers the interview on days Darrin is why I'm hoping to be a new hire soon
So u got to do all of this in the winter too? wow. Yeah too much for me . Thanks for sharing, its appreciated!
That’s why we share this up front. It’s definitely not for everyone. Thanks!
I can for sure say this isn’t much damm work omg I wish that was all I had to do when driving I might need to get some endorsements and change over
@@frankh257 You do MORE than this now and u don't have endorsements???! To each their own I guess.
@@JayS64 I do food delivery so no I don’t have endorsements but everyone should have some it’s worth it
@@frankh257 you don't need an endorsement for this job unless you plan on doing hazmat
You guys don't need owner operators? Hey Jason Crowell is there anyway I could contact you,
No Owner Ops. Sorry
@@jasoncrowell189 if I wanted to drive for you, how could I contact you?
@@jasoncrowell189 as a company driver
What this position called?
Professional Driver. The trailer is a dry bulk pneumatic tanker.
No Hard Hat??? Or reflective gear?? Safety is key at a Railyard
How much is ones annual salary doing work like that?
I'm the Recruiter. Average Drivers ear $80 - 90K. Top Drivers $115,000
Your guys trailers don’t have 6nch fittings? Way faster js
Plastic an dry bulk is for a different animal. This ain’t for everyone. Been at Bulkmatic for 8 years
Thanks@@breakingbadken That's why we show this video to applicants. So they get a small picture of what the job is.

Yes lets do it😅
How to possible
Snow Ice pouring rain. Yeah definitely not for everybody. If commodity is outdoors like sand and it's wet can't load. Lose a load
Beat working at car wash
That’s a lot of work for only a few more bucks extra
Yes. That’s why we have this video. We want to be sure Driver led know the physical nature of the job. It’s not just a driving job.
That isn't alot of work
@@onasisbolton9311 Some think it is a lot. Many don't want this much work. That's why I show the video to candidates.
@@onasisbolton9311 Different people have different opinions. That's why we show the video.

That's funny. Darrin has been here 14 years. He's one of the best and trains the new hires.
Looked pretty smooth to me. Darrin definitely will not be delivering a contaminated load.
@@elljay4587 Amen. He's the best!!
Too much work for the same yearly salary as a steering wheel holder
